Inactive [LP CYOA] Overlord

[Nevill]

Runde's utility as a slave would appear suspect.

He already was a slave, though. It's not like the only job for a slave is to row on a galley.

He can be our joker, a curiosity, a circus freak. It's not like such things are unprecedented.

 

[Elfberserker]

We need someone watch over the twins.
Trust me when I am saying that adventure kids need six or eight eyeballs to keep them in line.

How many masters had their day ruined, while their stubborn and fierce child students have caused trouble without supervision. Not to mention, how they usually have natural ability to avoid said masters supervision.

Runde's utility as a slave would appear suspect. He is weak and scrawny by goblin standards, and goblins are generally not seen as that smart to begin with. On the other hand, Robust looks the part but is sort of useless outside of combat. Hell, even in combat I'm not sure how useful he is. I could be down with selling him for money if that's an option, I could see him fetching a good price. Just tell Rin and the others that he died bravely in combat while we greedily count our shekels.

Nooo!!!!
Not Robust!


Yes, he isn't as powerful as us, but he should be handy against avarage scrubs...Besides we really don't know, if he has other skills or even surprisingly good abilities.....
And no selling our Gobbos to slavery


We should do that to our captured enemies, not our mascot minions

 

[Esquilax]

Sounds like a brilliant idea. Our cover story will be that we're a travelling merchant going with our twin children who are along for the ride to learn the trade. With us are our two goblin slaves - Robust, our bodyguard, and Runde, our manservant.

 

[Nevill]

Nooo!!!!
Not Robust!

Relax, bro. Even if we sell him, I would be in favor of stealing him right back from under the merchant's nose before leaving the city.

After all, why sell once what you can sell twice?

Trust me when I am saying that adventure kids need six or eight eyeballs to keep them in line.

And yet, people are more worried about Rin.

I'm totally down with this. Flopping to C B (Kids, Runde, Robust)

 

[Elfberserker]

C-Can we take Rin with us?
We do need someone to play role of merchant wife.

 

[lightbane]

If the twins go, Rin could be included so that she's more "relaxed" around them (hopefully). However, she should either use her wings to generate a new dress or someone make one for her, because she definitively shouldn't go around wearing full plate armor.

Isn't Erd like 20 at most? Meanwhile, the twins are 14. That would raise too many questions we don't want to answer. However, perhaps we can work around that with a fake beard or something.

Rin can be the stay at home mom. Emphasis on 'stay.' Seriously, though, I don't want her around large human cities for long periods of time just yet, goblins or not. I just think that it's a bad idea.

 

[Nevill]

She can be our bodyguard - which is also technically true. Would do a more convincing job of it than Robust, too.

He aged well.

 

[Elfberserker]

I don't want her in armor.
I want her in pretty dress with cleavage cut.

 

[Nevill]

I want her in pretty dress with cleavage cut.

Would need the gloves to mask the claws, then, and something for the tail. Mmm, the tail.

 

[a cut of domestic sheep prime]

CA Rin, Aria, Arlin

I like taking Rin along. She may be a handful at times, but her raw power generally makes up for that. Arlin does a pretty good job of looking after his sister, so it'd probably be a mistake to separate them.

As for Rin's appearance, a dress or pants would hide the tail and the horns shouldn't be a problem - just have her do her hair up in a really big bun.

 

[Elfberserker]

I flop to esqulax squad:
Voting for:
Aria
Arlin
Runde
Robust
Rin?

Still undecided about Rin, but more the merrier????
If Rin was secluded or spoiled child of royalty during wartime, then maybe seeing the world might be benefical for her...Like seeing in her own eyes how normal people live, without war time.
The good, the bad
The beauty and ugliness.
The strange and the normal.
Poor and rich.
All in peace and no war...Yet

 

[Grimgravy]

As for destination and squad:
A>B
Aria
Arlin
Runde
Petze

 

[ScubaV]

I can't believe 2A isn't getting more love. It says right in the update that it might be good for magical research. You can try to rationalize B as offering that, but it's still a rationalization that doesn't even have the support of a "maybe". Oh well, still gonna vote for it.

CA (I'm fine with whatever companions)

 

[treave]

treave, is slavery practiced in Methuss or other places in the surrounding Kingdoms?

According to Runde, yes.

Hm, I missed that one before. I wonder how it works. Is it some kind of possessed suit of armor? Or an actual giant golem?

According to Barbatos, a giant humanoid that Equinos controls from the inside. So, like an Ev******on.

That reminds me: treave , did Rin notice the Gauntlet with her Eyes of Bullshit Seeing? Has she commented about it?

She is jealous and would like a nice weapon of her own. When you point out her axe, she says that doesn't count since it's not a 'real' weapon. Barbatos says she might be a good fit for the Sword due to her lineage.

And what's her opinion about the twins? If she still considers them barely better than trash, perhaps it would be better for her to remain at the village.

She has a small respect for Aria's ferocity and tenacity, and sometimes wonders if the little twig might not become a worthy rival to her one day. Arlin is pretty much invisible to her unless he's cooking her something to eat.

Also, have the kids learned about Rin's real nature too or not yet? I would assume they would have asked a lot of questions about our main character's origins and everything by now.

They know she's a demon but it was less terrifying to them than you being an angel. Rin is still a bit unhappy about that. They don't know anything else, like how you came here. They assume you came from the east.

 

[Kayerts]

1 - Well, that seals it. If a fucking glove can't teach us the Yuhe Finger, we're never going to learn it. It knows more about fingers than anyone. Can we just forfeit the LP right now? Otherwise, C.
2 - A, we should take every opportunity to specialize in magic
3 - We should take the twins so that we can have human eyes and ears in these human cities we are going to. I'd be in favor of assigning Rin to hold down the fort, but (a) we've already seen evidence that there are random encounters in the region that are completely capable of dumpstering her, and likely us as well; and (b) the goblins are charming, but we haven't committed enough resources to building up a regional power base to really justify splitting the party in order to defend it. Rin + the twins

Arlin is pretty much invisible to her unless he's cooking her something to eat.

This little shit is going to blindside us in 5 years and seduce Rin with a heavenly paella.

 

[Absinthe]

Voting AB Rin, Aria, Arlin.

1A because you guys seem to forget that charging skills are also running skills.

 

[a cut of domestic sheep prime]

Because the codex always runs away from a fight and never rushes in headfirst. Yolo.

 

[Esquilax]

Voting AB Rin, Aria, Arlin.

1A because you guys seem to forget that charging skills are also running skills.

Dodging skills are also running skills too, aren't they? I like A more because it sounds cool and is an interesting offensive ability when we're in a fight and some enemy thinks we're your standard squishy wizard. But C is cool too, as Erdrick has already complained about not being quick enough to evade Rin before.

 

[treave]

Codex picking the Shadow Step for their first kungfu skill.

...this sounds familiar.

 

[profreshinal]

There are a few things you need before you can learn WQS the learning spell easily. I'm assuming the next town will have a plot where erdrick needs to whore himself out.

CA Rin, Runde

It's mostly because of Rin. First our wing, then our lightning-arm - we're liable to not have any appendages left if we don't learn how to dodge her!

 

[lightbane]

It is a strange world one in which angels are considered more terrifying than demons. Doubly so when the latter notices that and gets butthurt . Anyway, I'll switch my vote for 2.B>A. You guys make a good point: More magic is always better to have.

There is some biblical basis in that, especially among the orthodox faith. Besides, remember that demons are really just butthurt angels that lost the war.
